Default Stick with the V6 or trade

I haven't posted in a really long time well anyway I have a 2002 V6 and I have had it almost a year I cannot decide wether to keep it and just save up money to get some ported upper and lower intakes and cams and if I get enogh money Ported heads and then eventually go for a supercharger or I can sell my V6 and look for a good V8 car like Trans Am Camaro Z28 (same thing) Mustang GT or (no one laugh) S2000 the problem is but of course money I know you have to pay to play the problem is though that if i get a new car I have to start from scratch on the payments when I already got a really good deal on this mustang and I know it is realialble I have owned it a year and only put 2,000 miles on it and if I get a new car I do not know what I am getting as far as engine condition and if I get a V8 insurance goes up as well as car payments I know the argument is wouldn't you be spending about the same amount of money modding the V6 as you would just buying a V8 well yea but the insurance is what makes the difference right and like I said the mustangs in the driveway what should I do Unleash the 3.8 fury or go for a V8?

Holy run-on sentence! Try using periods, it will get you better responses. I'm not even sure what you are asking anymore...

Depends what you and only you want.

You could build the v6 and have a forged/built motor -
You could buy a z28/t-a and start from scratch
You could buy a s2000 and start from scratch

I wouldn't wast the $ on a GT

You would rather go through all that trouble getting and paying for a new car than to just do a little work to what you already have? Doesn't make much sense to me.

Yes I would -
A GT that runs 12s is still a slow mustang (since their compaired to the LS1's and LS1's will run high 12s almost stock)
A v6 that runs 12s is amazing and everybody wants to ask questions

Its not an opinion its the truth!

I wouldn't ever buy a 99-04 GT, it would have to be a n/a cobra / mach 1 / 03 cobra
Why buy a GT when you can get a t-a/z28 for 8-10k, a t56, better mileage, and more power *insret tim allen grunt*

Whats the truth? You would rather mod a v6 than a GT? I dont know why you hate GTs so bad...Just because you couldnt get one doesnt mean you have to hate it...**** I wanted a cobra but I still dont hate it...grow up man, youre in denial.
